Job Description
The Regional Economic Agency (AER BFC) targets two audiences: companies and the territories of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
This position offers a genuine opportunity for any motivated individual wishing to play a key role in the ecological and economic transition of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region.
You will join a dynamic and committed team as well as a human-scale agency, well-known and recognized in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
As part of the Energy Transition and Sustainable Economy department, your mission will be to raise awareness and support companies, business groups, and territories in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region on circular economy issues (eco-design, functional economy and cooperation) and broader economic transitions.
Initially, your focus will be on promoting eco-design and supporting regional companies in their projects: preliminary diagnostics, networking, funding research, and showcasing their work. To this end, you will design and implement individual and collective actions for information, awareness-raising, and technical and financial support for companies and business groups in the BFC region. You will conduct regular visits to companies throughout the region.
Initially centered on eco-design, after an adaptation period, you will have the opportunity to work on economic model change trajectories through the lens of FEC (Functional Economy and Cooperation).
You will contribute to animating the regional ecosystem and the Regional Network for Ecological and Economic Transition, led by the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region and ADEME.
In this context, you will be expected to travel frequently throughout the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, and more occasionally within France.
